16:27 <@adasi> co to PRET?
16:28 <@arekm> FTP has no way of specifying critical information (such as 
filename) before the start of a transfer.  The
               introduction of PRET (pre-transfer) is designed to fix this 
inadequacy.
16:28 <@arekm>
16:28 <@arekm> The PRET commands sets state for the *next* transfer only.  It 
does not set global state, and is tightly
               coupled to a single STOR/RETR command.
